When the Atlantic City Council gathers for their 5:30-p.m. meeting Wednesday, at City Hall, they’ll start off their session by recognizing three City employees for their ongoing years of service. Atlantic Police Sergeant Spencer Walton will be recognized for his 10-years of outstanding service and in keeping the community safe. Youth Services Librarian Julie Tjepkes has served the Atlantic Public Library for 32-years, and, even though she’s past her 30th Anniversary, the Mayor, Library Director Michelle Andersen, and Library Board, feel she should be recognized for the 30-year milestone, and to thank Tjepkes for helping Atlantic Youth pursue the joy of reading, and multi-media. And, Adult Services Librarian Diane McFadden is being honored, Wednesday, for 30-years of service in helping adults enjoy the many varied materials available at the Library.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will act on passing a Resolution “Approving the Transfer of Funds for the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018-2019.” City Administrator John Lund says the City has routinely transferred money between its 62 separate funds, in accordance with rules established by State Statute. The transfers are always outlined directly in the City’s Annual Budget approved by the Council each year, however, the auditors are requesting that a separate resolution occur, as the transfers take place. Lund says the transfers are a critical component of making the City’s budget work effectively, in addition to creating transparency on what is actually being spent in each of the line items in each fund.
